Irresponsible Hedonism

Part of the fandom of old(ish) | I use this blog like hoarded tupperware filled with tumblr reblogs of my current blorbos (which is almost entirely Superbat and Dreamling at this point) AO3 | Twitter

[pintobordeaux]

Hey hey! I'm Pinto! This is my obligatory "I can't believe I've never made one of these, I guess it's time" pinned post -

I occasionally art which can be found under the tag #PintosArt. Or you can click here (because I haven't been able to figure out how to get the page to show up on mobile yet).

I occasionally get enough motivation to follow through on posting my writing. My AO3 is here (Pinto_Bordeaux or zsnesw) and the tag I've been using for tumblr is #PintoWrites

I mostly post Superbat stuff on this account (my main) but I do have some sideblogs so if you see a random follower or reblog from those it might just be me trying to digitally organize a bit -

Caberneigh - My sandman sideblog for (mostly) Dreamling content that will probably leak out sometimes especially for any of my own art or writing.

Milehighartclub - drawing references/art/art history and some art memes

Jfkfc - memes and popular reblog posts. Mostly just for shitposting so I don’t flood people with it here

My ask box and messages are open! Although sometimes I’m terrible at checking it in a timely manner so please don’t worry or be offended if it takes me a while to get to it.

At my heart I’m an anxious trash panda so I can be bad at reaching out except when my feelings of needing to shower ALL the love overflow and escape the anxiety containment. Tumblr has been slowly healing me on that front and I'm just enjoying vibing here with ya'll and all the blorbo content!

Saw a post on Facebook that was like, "Yes, Superman is an immigrant, but he's not illegal, because he was ADOPTED" and I want to know if the person who wrote that really thinks that Ma and Pa Kent filed proper, honest paperwork explaining precisely how they found Clark??

[thatsastepladder]

It was rural Kansas, and originally in the 1910s when they would have found him. It would be easy enough to say he was a home birth during a particularly snowy winter, get the Smallville doctor to sign off on a birth certificate, and presto! Clark Kent is legally the son of Martha and Jonathan Kent. And once you have the birth certificate, the rest of the paperwork is easy.

[jurakan]

[waves fake birth certificate] Aside from this illegally-forged document, it's all legal!

[frownyalfred]

will never get over how weird it is to see Batman / Bruce Wayne blended visually, there’s something to dig into here but I’m stuck thinking about how he’d absolutely split those dress pants down the middle at some point

[damianwaynephd]

it very much gives the impression of seeing something you shouldn’t be… it Feels like a violation of privacy, like you’re seeing way too much of his identity, but then you realize… you arent. this is what you’ve always known. the batman is a man. you still can’t see his face, it’s literally fine, but it still feels wrong. when he has the batsuit on, it makes sense that he can do impossible and insane things, but with just the bare essentials, it draws attention to his raw humanity. it makes you think like, if someone handed you a cowl and a utility belt, could you do it? do what he does? you are also a man, a woman, a person, after all. and you just realize like, no. you couldn’t. you realize batman is some guy who does not have a special license to be a vigilante, he decided to do it. seeing batman like this makes you realize that every single moment of being batman is a choice he makes.

I love a bumbling reporter!Clark Kent who worships the ground Lois Lane walks on and never gets his drafts in on time, but that doesn’t mean Clark Kent needs to be a bad writer even when he really tries. The most interesting part of his secret identity is how it interacts with his other identity.

He’s not making big glaring mistakes on his drafts and begging Lois to fix them; he’s bright enough to give her a run for her money if he had the time. His career and perception by others suffer from Superman’s existence and the role’s demands. And just because he’s perceived by others as a bumbling reporter with only a shred of intelligence, that doesn’t mean it’s the truth.

Which is a very long way of saying, I prefer writing him as genuinely sharp and intelligent but bumbling by necessity. It’s not that he can’t keep up with Lois or Bruce Wayne; it’s that he has to blunt that intelligence to keep things under wraps. And to be underestimated. But that doesn’t mean he’s actually bad at his job. He got a job at the Daily Planet after all!

One of the most common complaints about Star Trek I saw growing up was “why don’t they use the holodeck more? If you were living in that time period and you could just make anything you wanted anytime you wanted and live out fantasies forever, why aren’t more people addicted to the holodeck?”

And then generative ai was created.

And now I get it. I get why nobody on Star Trek spends all their free time in the holodeck. I get why all the crew are putting on stage plays, and holding music recitals, and building models, and playing poker. I get why everyone was so skeptical and mean to the Doctor on Voyager. I get why the ONE TIME we see someone obsessed with the holodeck it infringes on people’s likeness rights and permissions.

Because fundamentally at the end of the day we are human beings and we ENJOY working with our hands and making REAL human connections. A person who learns to play an instrument is always going to be viewed as an artist over someone who asks the computer to generate music for them.

Even as recent as Lower Decks they were making fun of the fact that the crew were putting on amateurish plays and holding music recitals. But after living with Ai for so long and seeing how detrimental it’s been to the world… I’d much rather watch my friends put on a stage play than “participate” in a holodeck movie.

What’s most amazing about this is that it was completely unintentional. I do not for one second think that the writers of the time in the 90’s were really thinking about the larger issues that generative ai and chatGTP would cause. How could they? Text to speech back then was still robotic as heck. More likely they wrote that stuff in because it was cheaper to film on sets the owned than try to build, film, or rent out different locations each week.

That’s the down to earth logistical real reason Data is reciting poems about his cat or Riker is in a play put on in ten forward. It’s just cheaper to do that than to build a whole new set or move production to a new location.

Yet at the end of the day, I think that unintentionally speaks to a very human need that ai is making more and more prevalent to us day in and day out.

And that’s the fact nobody wants to deal with generative SLOP.

[nerdy-chaos-gremlin]

This made me think of something—if Data makes art, does that technically make it ai-generated art?

[startrekprodigyfan]

Actually… yes! And it’s one of the better character arcs that is explored throughout the series!

Data is always trying to mimic humanity and learn, but often he’s hampered by his programming. People fall asleep at his poem recital, don’t enjoy his music or paintings, and even playing Sherlock became boring… all because he kept defaulting to an algorithmic perfection. Both his poems and much were technically flawless, but they had no soul. His paintings could only imitate other artists styles. And because he memorized all the Sherlock novels he was able to instantly solve the mystery before it even began.

It wasn’t until Data gained the ability to dream did his art and creativity start to become his own thing.

[startrekprodigyfan]

IMPORTANT FOLLOW UP:

Please everyone! I’m not dissing on “Ode to Spot!” I love it just as much as all of you do! It’s hilarious and one of the best bits from the series.

But while you and I may like it, the reality in the show is that it is seen as long and (while technically adept) boring. There’s a whole scene where Data asks Geordie for criticism and the best Geordie can come up with is that it’s “fine.”

Please don’t think I’m dissing on that particular poem. I’m going by how his work is perceived in the show.

I think I found my new favorite rabbit hole. This voice actor does Shakespeare scenes in a southern accent and I need to see the whole damn play. Absolutely beautiful

[saint-batrick]

if you're not from the us american south, there's some amazing nuances to this you may have missed. i can't really describe all of them, because i've lived here my whole life and a lot of the body language is sort of a native tongue thing. the body language is its own language, and i am not so great at teaching language. i do know i instinctively sucked on my lower teeth at the same time as he did, and when he scratched the side of his face, i was ready to take up fucking arms with him.

but y'all. the way he said "brutus is an honourable man" - each and every time it changed just a little. it was the full condemnation Shakespeare wanted it to be. it started off slightly mock sincere. barely trying to cover the sarcasm. by the end...it wasn't a threat, it was a promise.

christ, he's good.

[anais-ninja-bitch]

the eliding of “you all” to “y’all” while still maintaining 2 syllables is a deliberate and brilliant act of violence. “bear with me” said exactly like i’ve heard it at every funeral. the choices of breaking and re-establishing of eye contact. the balance of rehearsed and improvised tone. A+++ get this man a hollywood contract.

bruce wayne answering “yes” completely honestly, non-jokingly, with a deadpan voice when the media ask him in jest if he’s batman is a mood

[roscuro69]

#and then years down the line they find out he’s batman and bruce is just like ‘i mean i never denied it’     

#bruce not caring enough to hide his identity has been such a staple for batman comics but even the writers don’t realize they’re doing it

#there was this early 70s comics about a killer sending his victims batman costumes and killing them while they had them on

#so the police started suspecting one of the victims might be the real batman

#but inevitably bruce wayne gets a suit so commissioner gordon asks him if he could think of a reason the killer targeted him          

 #and bruce just replies ‘no but the design is awful it’s nothing like the original downstairs’      

 #while alfred is just looking straight into the panel’s camera resigned                                                            

[dcupenguin]

In Gotham Adventures #35, Bruce is made part of a jury for the court case of a man that was apprehended by Batman. 

And he just fuckin. He Does That

What seems to keep his cover isn’t secrecy (though there’s plenty of it), but instead just how absolutely outrageous the idea is. Bruce Wayne?? Batman??? Puh-lease. I mean, have you seen the guy? Sure he’s a nice guy, but he’s far too busy having people run WE for him and going on pleasure cruises to be Batman. I mean, really. 

(Good thing nobody notices the cool symbolic silhouette deal he’s got going on there.) It’s likely become something akin to the ‘Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer’ joke, (check out this post) and Bruce often just feeds it, making it even easier to get away with. It’s fucking hilarious.

[raptorific]

Those people are gonna feel silly since anyone with eyes could see that the butts match…. I mean, the facts don’t lie

[abcdfghjklmpqrobin]

Au where Batman doesn't want to tell the Justice League his secret identity but it's because he's really embarrassed about the things he's done as Bruce Wayne.

The thing is; Batman has spent years crafting and perfecting his public persona.

'Brucie Wayne' is supposed to be a dumber than life himbo, with daddy's credit card and the maturity of a seventeen year old. He's supposed to be someone so outlandishly ridiculous no one would ever even dare to mention him in the same sentence as Batman... And Batman has been acting that part perfectly.

It's a genius plan.

But then the league begins talking about maybe all sharing their secret identities, to become closer as a group and work better together. And the only thing in Batman's mind is 'Oh. My. God. Please don't'

Superman is saying something about trust and how he has come to value all of them as friends. Batman is thinking about last year Christmas' Gala, where he took off his clothes in an improvised strip-tease, and started swimming in the fountain.

Wonder woman is talking about how she wishes to strengthen their bonds so they become greater warriors. Bruce just remembered there's videos of him fucking twerking and pole dancing to Ariana Grande all over the internet.

Flash starts smiling and telling them he already trust them with his life– Bruce once said chocolate milk came from brown cows.

'Oh. My. God'.

There's just no way he's telling any of them.

[mysticwolfshadows]

It's even better if he's met the rest of the League in his Brucie persona, and they never realized.

Clark was at a charity gala, trying to get some quotes for an article. He had known he wasn't going to get much out of Brucie, but he had asked the man for an interview anyway. Brucie had said yes, only to immediately drag Clark into a coat closet. When Clark rightfully freaked out, he discovered that Brucie genuinely thought that an interview was sex in a closet during galas. That that was the definition of the word interview.

Diana had been hosting a museum opening, and seen the himbo looking at a peridot statue. As he was one of the biggest donors, she decided to go talk to him. He seemed confused when she asked what she thought of it. He told her that he didn't understand why they had a fake statue. Diana, now also confused, asked what he meant, and learned that he didn't think green stones were real. That they were all painted that way. "I think it would look better without the paint," he said, very serious. Diana, slowly as she felt some of her own brain cells dying, told him that it was made out of peridot. He replied with "isn't that what girls get?"

Barry Allen had been in Gotham with his nephew Wally to meet Wally's pen pal, Dick. They ended up in this huge house, being led through by a butler. Dick was sitting at a table with a man Barry recognized as Bruce Wayne, staring down at a puzzle. Only, the puzzle and all the pieces were upside down, showing only the back. He stopped to introduce himself to Barry, then looked around, confused. "Dickie," Brucie said, "I thought you said your pen pal was coming." Dick snickered, covering his mouth. "Yeah, Bruce. This is Wally." Brucie looked down at Wally, blinked, and then said "you're not a pen."
